| dc.description | Acknowledgements I am indebted to the late John Mendum for rekindling my interest in the history of geological investigations in the NW Highlands and, together with his colleagues at BGS, for furnishing images of field slips and notebooks from some of the key players. I am grateful to Graham Leslie and Rick Law for providing constructive reviews together with Lucy Williams for shepherding the manuscript through the editorial process. BGS are thanked for permission to reproduce images from their photographic archive (Figs 4 and 6). I thank Jennifer Hillyard, Librarian, North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, for donating an extensive collection of geological maps to the University of Aberdeen. Readers can consult online versions of the published maps directly vias the BGS maps portal or the National Library of Scotland. The conversion of the original map pricing to 2021 equivalents was completed using the online Bank of England inflation calculator. Much of the content of this paper was presented through two videos (“The Assynt Special Sheet – 1923” and “Mapping the ‘Zone’ – a 40-year odyssey to the Assynt sheet”), as part of the William Smith meeting on Geological Mapping - of our World and others to which this Special Publication relates. Both make extensive use of map imagery and can be found on YouTube. | en |
